      abstract     = {Previous studies indicate that occupation might affect
                      cognitive functioning in late life. As people in low and
                      middle income countries often have to work until late life,
                      we sought to investigate if there are cognitive benefits to
                      working later into life and whether cognitive function
                      deteriorates after exiting the labor force. We analyzed
                      longitudinal data from the Mexican Health and Aging Study
                      (MHAS), a nationally representative sample of Mexican adults
                      age 50+ (n=7,375), that assessed cognitive functioning by
                      verbal learning, delayed recall, and visual scanning.
                      Analyses were carried out using mixed-effects modeling
                      corrected for the influence of gender, IADLs, diabetes,
                      stroke, hypertension, depression, income, and marital
                      status. Results suggest that working actively, compared to
                      exiting the workforce, was associated with cognitive
                      performance only in context with occupation. Domestic
                      workers had a faster decline in verbal learning (b=-0.02,
                      p=0.020) and delayed recall (b=-0.02, p=0.036) if they
                      continued working actively and people working in
                      administration (b=0.03, p=0.007), sales (b=0.02, p=0.044),
                      and educators (b=0.03, p=0.049) had a slower decline in
                      visual scanning if they continued working in old age. Our
                      findings indicate that continued participation in the labor
                      force in old age does not necessarily come with cognitive
                      benefits. Whether or not working actively in later life
                      protects or even harms cognitive functioning is likely to
                      depend on the type of job.},
